    Since the dimension of the scale model is fourth of dimensions of the room, divide by 4 the given dimensions.

    new dimensions:

    = 18 ft / 4 = 9/2 ft

    = 16 ft / 4 = 4 ft

    The area is calculated by multiplying the dimensions,

    Area = (9/2 ft) (4 ft) = 18 ft²

    Therefore, the area of the scale model is equal to 18 ft².
